Indoor air quality surveys in Isle of Wight

An indoor air quality survey measures how fresh and how damp the air in a building really is, over days rather than minutes. We place loggers that record CO2, humidity and temperature (and particulates in workplaces), then explain what the readings mean and what ventilation changes would help.

If you are anywhere in the Isle of Wight, send the postcode and a few photos and we will tell you what we would recommend. Towns we cover include Cowes, Sandown, Newport and Ryde.

What indoor air quality surveys involves

CO2 is a practical indicator of whether a room is getting enough fresh air for the number of people in it: levels that climb steadily through a meeting or a night in a bedroom point to under-ventilation. Humidity readings show whether moisture is being removed or lingering long enough to cause condensation and mould. Surveys are useful before spending money: they show whether a problem is constant or happens at particular times, which rooms are worst, and whether an existing system is doing its job.

Before and after

Readings taken before and after a ventilation upgrade to show the difference.

Spot checks

Readings taken during a single visit, where a quick answer is enough.

Questions about indoor air quality surveys in the Isle of Wight

Is the survey free in the Isle of Wight?

Visits here are by arrangement. Because of the ferry or long travel involved, we quote travel separately and in writing before you commit, and we can often combine visits to keep the cost down.

What is a good CO2 level indoors?

Outdoor air is around 400 to 450 parts per million; indoor levels that stay well below about 1,000 ppm usually indicate reasonable ventilation for the people in the room, while sustained levels much higher suggest it needs improving.

What humidity should a home be?

Relative humidity of roughly 40 to 60 percent is comfortable for most homes. Readings that sit above 70 percent for long periods make condensation and mould much more likely.

Which rules apply to ventilation in the Isle of Wight?

In England, ventilation in new and altered homes is covered by Approved Document F of the Building Regulations. Landlords also have duties under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System, and workplaces must be ventilated under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
